Skips....i dont mean to sound like bill & ted but i actually found your previous slander most excellent........plus it was more realistic than your recent comment of a 600 ever being quick......the only thing they do quick is going upside down against the tarmac :b
Twas just a mere 3 years ago you were on here sounding green and asking questions about your cherished 600, but look at you now, all grown up with an extra 400cc's to play with, doesn't time fly. :lol

I just burst out laughing because of you two. Kids are asleep shhhhhh
Had to bump start it this morning (that was focing hot work!).
Every now and again for a reason unknown to me I go to start the bike and it's flat as a pancake. New battery last year, did it on the old one too. Does it about twice a year. Very odd. I had ridden the bike 2 days previous too, so hardly been sitting long.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!

I'd get the bike checked if I was you.

If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership!

Leave it until Sunday, I'm sure Paul and Midden will love to point out all the issues and have go at fault finding for you, be like last year all over again :rollin
I'm just going to bring a visitors book along on Sunday and leave it on the saddle when we're parked up, people can then leave comments without bothering me! I can then throw them in the bin read them diligently over a cuppa when I get home. :rolleyes

Check the Alternator and Rectifier. The Rectifier on my FZ6 was on the way out which knackered the battery as it was not getting charged properly.
Finally made use of the thou to ride to work... may have had something to do with the fact that the car has no fuel and possibly some collapsed suspension...
I collected it from the dealer in Abergele after it's 40,000 kms service and MOT. Rode from there to Bala, via Brenig. Dinner in Bala, then home via Corwen, Llandegla, Bwlchgwyn. A bit of rain on the way home.
